You know what's crazy? A lot of people view the Xbox team as the profitable, well-run bright spot of Microsoft.
Well their other main division DID remove the start button from windows...
DOES ANYONE THERE LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I think Kinectless model is a smart move if they can match 399 with it but it really speaks that MS had no idea what to do with their vision for the console.
This is a perfectly reasonable line of thought. Why hasn't this been reported by anyone else? The DRM rumor/news was everywhere
Nothing on IGN, Giantbomb, Polygon any twitter hits from anyone, not even Kotaku is biting on this.
I think people are seriously losing their shit without checking the roll here.
Everyone is cheering and stuff over what MS done and now is rumored to do. I feel like these moves are mistakes. It's like people have closed minds and don't wan to even consider new ideas/ gameplay options.
Well I guess technically they could afford selling the console for 200 bucks too.
You don't actually believe this, do you?
Isnt that pretty much what PS4 is? A PS3 with prettier graphics minus the cell tech?
This whole Xbone is a super advanced jedi fucking mind trick
now with the inevitable $399 they keep fueling the positive news cycle and somehow end ahead of PS4. Genius!
Not happening or they're going to screw the devs who built kinect features like Fantasia.

Microsoft put all this DRM shite in their console - "fuck you Microsoft, this is awful"
Microsoft cave in and take out all the DRM shite - "fuck you Microsoft, this is awful
If all you care about are graphics, then sure Xbox One < PS4 < PC. But better graphics don't automatically make a better game.
That's where theoretically Kinect comes in (as well as Smartglass). There'll be a sufficiently large Kinect install base to make use of the device. If a game makes good use of these platform features, then it could very well turn out better than a slightly nicer looking PS4 version.

those preorder numbers must have had MS shook

If this is true, anyone who buys an XBone at launch who doesn't want a Kinect is a sucker. This seems to pave the way for Microsoft to announce a new sku after sales taper off next Spring or so. When that happens, I'll consider getting one.
Yep. That's what happens when you try and fuck someone. Microsoft has a long, hard road to travel to win me back.GAF -

Nothing appealing? You have to be trolling. Dead Rising 3 looks pretty appealing to me.
Am I wrong or is this rumor just removing the KINECT MUST BE PLUGGED IN requirement and nothing else? Why are people talking about pricing and skus?
Even better! But they need to be at most $399 to compete.
this if true is going to slowly revert back to people saying ps4 is more powerful and hence it's going to be like this generation where the ps3 is more powerful but almost everyone bought an xbox
lol some interesting stuff going on
RRoD probably added to sales if anything lol. I know it did for me personally.

Oh lawd, what is next for Microsoft?

.@Xbox confirms NO #XboxOne price drop due to NO kinect requirement. #XboxOne is "competitively priced" & xbox is "confident with the value"
This and a price drop and MS have won

There were plenty of people who disliked an always on Kinect just as much as they didn't like the DRM. I personally am still not buying it until a price drop or a Kinectless bundle that reduces the price.I was under the impression DRM was the problem. The new Kinect didn't affect troops overseas, used games, and region locks. They might drop a potentially good tech amidst all this bullshit and that sucks (let's be for real, who will bother with it if it's not included). Didn't think I'd feel this way about this console.
